PIX: I saw a rock being thrown into a pond
and the rings moving outward from where it entered the
water.

Insert rock
into a lake

This morning I decided I was tired of my computer screen
and so I searched for a photo instead of just a color
background. I chose this photo and as I entered into
its beauty, it gave me life. I remembered the smell of
the evergreen trees. I recalled the gentle breeze on my
face as I stood at the edge of the water. There was the
caw of a bird that flew overhead. At the water’s edge a
tiny frog jumped in and I watched the ever increasing
circle of water expand from his entrance. I knew the
water was cold to the touch and refreshing. I took a
deep breath; the air was cool and all was at peace.

You may wonder how I can gain so much from looking at a
photo. Our family used to back pack every summer into
the high mountain lakes where few knew such a life
existed. As I pondered this ability to enter in, the
Lord quickened to me something that I knew was
important. His Words are much deeper than flat letters
on paper. And often more times than not, we have to
experience His Words to really know them. Life’s most
valuable lessons are more than taught, sought and
caught. When we have been there and lived through it,
it becomes more than a lesson. It becomes a part of us
that is not forgotten.

Gen 30:27 NKJV

And Laban said to him, "Please stay, if I have found
favor in your eyes, for I have learned by experience
that the LORD has blessed me for your sake."
